Thomas Edison is considered one of the world’s greatest inventors. Some of his inventions include the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera. No doubt Edison’s inventions have made the world a better place.
However, Edison had even higher hopes for some of his inventions. In particular, he was convinced that the motion picture camera would transform education. In 1922, he boldly predicted “I believe that the motion picture is designed to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks.”
